Notes about Recipes in this book

  • Stacked enchiladas verdes

    • chawkins on March 31, 2016

      Quick and tasty, only 4 ingredients, corn tortilla, onion, cheese and green chili sauce. It is the sauce that makes the dish. The onion remained somewhat raw because after assembly, it was put in the oven to melt the cheese only. I added pulled pork to mine because I have a lot of leftover from my husband's BBQ pork shoulder.

  • Green chili sauce

    • chawkins on March 31, 2016

      This sauce is awesome and very easy to put together. I used poblano in place of the Anaheim or New Mexico because I have some roasted ones in the freezer from my summer garden, also used frozen tomatillos. The lime juice and the tomatillos gave it the tang, cilantro added freshness and the cream richness. Unfortunately, neither my jalapeno nor my poblano were hot, so the sauce had no heat at all. I also did not puree in a blender, just used a stick blender in the pot that the sauce was cooked in.

Publishers Text

Southwest the Beautiful Cookbook explores a cuisine as diverse as the terrain and the people who settled there. The region's culinary originality derives from a historic union of native American, European and Mexican cultures, each contributing its own distinctive cooking traditions to produce what we know today as Southwestern fare. This cuisine is sumptuously presented in Southwest the Beautiful Cookbook with more than 200 recipes illustrated with stunning full-color photography. Noted Phoenix-based cooking teacher and food writer Barbara Pool Fenzl has gathered recipes that combine innovative techniques and dynamic food combinations with historic methods and ethnic contibutions to produce dishes as vibrant and exciting as the Southwest itself; shellfish tamales with ancho cream, quail salad with pumpkin seeds, sopiapillas and jalapeño chutney and so much more.

Complementing the recipe chapters are informative essays by noted author and Southwest enthusiast Norman Kolpas, along with glorious photography that bring this wonderful region to life on the printed page. The people, geography, and history of the area are skillfully portrayed in scenic photography and richly anecdotal text. Home to such awe-inspiring natural wonders as the Grand Canyon, Arches National Park, Mesa Verde and the Sonoran Desert, this region is a land of austere beauty, rich culture and a unique cuisine that is very much alive in this gorgeous addition to the Beautiful Cookbook® series.
